super polished game, really enjoyed shouting at my crew and plundering the high seas.
I got stuck at passing the river but it is such a great game, the mechanics are interesting and the puzzles feel satisfying.
Really nice game, mechanics are solid and it nails the theme. The only thing missing really is sound FX and music but time restraints be like that sometimes. Great entry!
really polished and a great bullet hell, I'm bad at this genre so can't get very far but still enjoyed playing.
The level of intricacy in the game is incredible for the time frame :O its a bit buggy, I encountered most of the same problems that have already been brought up, but I still had fun trying to work out the recipes, this is a great entry :)
this is a great little puzzle game, the atmosphere and FX are lovely and its so fantastically polished for three days :O fantastic job
great art piece that hit the theme well, loved the ending track.
The potion brewing feels amazing, even if it took me a good 5 minutes to figure it out, beautiful art style and music choice. Saw you mention you did this is HTML and Javascript which blows my mind, gj
The graphics in this game are so nice :D great job
really nice game, great mechanics and solid design, everything hits the theme really well, overall I would just say the difficulty amps up a litttttle fast but other than that great entry :)
fun game, reminds me of bmx flash games.
There is not a high enough rating for sound! The sound FX are so GOOD :D the little noises the sacrifices make as you pick them up had me dying :D great game
those are some buff bees, the difficultly spike is really well done as well.
graphics are great, music is great, game fits the theme really well, BUT its been said a lot already but ill say it again, this game is so hard, (definitely too hard for me) but overall a nice game.
took me a couple tries to realise I have to crack the boring eggs but was so satisfying when I did, cute graphics and fun mini games.
Really fun and weird game :D its always fun to try and break a physics simulation as well, it ends up 100% unstable, great job :D
this game has so much character and charm, I'm in love, great dialogue and an interesting mechanic. gj
Other than the pillars being longer there doesn't seem to be much of a difficultly curve but it's very atmospheric and enjoyable to play, finished in 146.
Really enjoyed building up towers just to smash through them, gj.
great game with an interesting mechanic, well done to the team that created this
polished game with solid gameplay
having to balance the level as you play was a really nice idea and take on the theme.
I love this game, the art style suits it so well and its really fun to play.
I liked the game a lot :) the camera was a bit disorientating at times, maybe a smoother transition, or just more viewing options would help? But the graphics and sounds where great, really light and playful and the mechanics felt solid, (high score of 91) overall great job :)
The little block clinking noises when the tower is built are....mmmmmmmmmm...:) so good
the end drawing is great he looks so happy, gj
love the concept, feels really well made and solid, gj
wow that's a hard game :D but really fun, simple and addicting. nice entry.
great use of the theme and the soundtrack is absolutely awesome
This is way more fun than it first appears and also a lot harder :D everything is really solid, I had no issues with any mechanics, the sounds where great, overall this is a great entry :)
Really liked the graphics :) and once i got a hang of the potions the mechanics where really nice
fun short game, I enjoyed soaring through the sky like a graceful eagle :) really well written as well.
the gameplay of using the mouse to control the scissors felt very satisfying
I liked this game quite a lot :) the graphics where fun and everything worked well, it was a nice clean entry, good job
maaaaaaan i loved it :D such a cute entry, i dont know if you fixed the bugs or what but i didnt have any so i had a great time :)
challenging but fun game :) nice voxel graphics as well
totally brilliant use of the theme :D sometimes it felt like it wasn't picking up when I clicked but maybe that's just me, but it got around it by holding LMB and dragging which was a great solution to build in, congrats on a great game :)
felt very unstable with the shooting which suits the theme well :)
This game is SO HARD :D I couldn't get a score much past 250, still fun though
Really well written and enjoyable to find all of the endings, good job.
I liked the graphics a lot, but i think something went wrong because the game kept ending before the meter filled up? maybe i was doing something wrong.
@gastar Thanks! it got to the point where I had to make a choice where the player was either gna die, or have a safe space, so i picked safe space because it just felt better than dying instantly :D if i had more time i could fix it but ya know :D
@jonas-michael Thanks :D I promise the purple ones are out there :D they are just deeeep in the heart of the star close to the ending :D
@morepixels Thanks :D I'm so happy you completed it :D balancing the game to make it important to upgrade was a difficult task :D
@moonblast Thanks :) I left the crates in the tutorial so if anyone got stuck they could farm out more stuff and complete the game a bit easier just to get to the ending :) The purple stones spawn the furthest away from your spawn point, so they are definitely the hardest to find but you only need to find 6 :D Also when the level generates, it randomly spawns currency about the map, which is maybe what your seeing as money increasing :)
@linus-szokody Thank-you :D and if the bois didn't offer you dinner you didn't find the ending :D I wont say more than that :D
@castoor Thank you, I was concerned whether random gen was the way to go so glad you liked it :)
@truedat Thanks :) these platforms where a challenge.... :D
@very-bad-bunny-studio ok so maaaaaaaaybe your name is better :D haha :D and im glad you enjoyed it :) Also every level has a portal (like the one in the tutorial) that leads to the final level and it always spawns around where the purple ore spawns :)
@not-an-apple-a-stone Thanks :D I found this same thing and so I put a shadow in to help with landing, because I didn't have enough time to test all the z-axis cases for collisions with the platforms, glad you liked it :)
@antrimplato the purple and yellow resources spawn just a bit further into the map :) and your a small robot, with tiny eyes, in a mine :D you just cant see very far :D
@goddoesplaydice that's so nice thank-you :D
@kyboon Glad you enjoyed what you played, and there's definitely an ending (I put it there myself :D) you just have to keep going :D. Programming the z-axis was tricky in the time frame :D I know how I would do it differently now though to give that 'fall-off' time.
creating the levels as you play feels really satisfying and fun, great entry and ty for introducing me to pico-8 I'd never actually checked the website out before this.
great entry, always love a Lovecraft theme in anything. I'm not a good enough warlock to summon any horrors from the void though D:
Fun game, brought back some wobbly drunken memories :D
Changing seasons to complete different quests is a really interesting idea
interesting take on the theme and I liked how you used the play space.
this game is so much and the hydra idea was a brilliant way of using the theme, honestly its my favorite way of the theme use so far.
fun game and the graphics are really cute, also it seems like it would work really well on a phone, or maybe just portrait mode in general.
I really like the art style of the wizard and the enemies, the linework really makes them stand out against the playdough looking 3d trees. good entry
I mean what's not like about this game :D there's puzzles and poop its hilarious!
really stunning to look at, the visuals in this game are absolutely my favorite of this jam and the audio fits so well to just set such a mood. just a really beautiful experience overall
I'm gna take this game as a direct attempt on my pcs life...but I loved it :D absolutely ridiculous but it was great fun.
everything was so polished! the graphics are lovely and the music fits so well, you've done an awesome job this was really fun.
you've managed to set quite a tense atmosphere without really having much happen. I like it a lot, and the foot prints in the snow where a great touch.
This game is crazy, but in a good way, the glow, the sounds, the difficulty level from the start, really great fun but crazy.
This game is super weird, but like, in a good way, its fun and even though the stage is the same it doesn't feel repetitive.
I really love the polish on your game, the particles on the pickups and enemies, the feedback on the menu, all the little touches where really nice. good job.
for a first attempt this is a great job, it was a bit clunky but you hit the theme and the game works so great job.
the vibe you set and the way you set up the camera to look like an old VHS recorder is awesome
really like the idea and the ui is great from the start but i suck at the game itself and i'm struggling to get a grip on what/how i'm supposed to progress when thieving humans keep taking my fruit
really nice memory game and fits with the theme great, the slow ramp in difficulty is really good too
gummi socks will haunt my dreams and my portfolio until the end of time, really good short sim, the ai images/text add a nice extra flair but jesus Kyle, leave some money for the rest of us blood sucking parasites on the leader board haha, gj and great use of the theme
fun food sim, i agree with other comments about it reminding them of old newgrounds game you should upload it there too :)
really enjoyed grinding at work to pay my rent on time while procrastinating and playing this game, starved before I paid the landlord but I think you used the theme really well
the use of the theme is really good, i suck at the game though and couldnt get past stage 1 but it's a me issue not the game haha, really tight full game
really nice hectic game, really enjoyed my time spent playing, I got to the 8th level and then lost my mind as it amped up to 11 haha great job, can't believe you got all this together for compo, amazing gj
really nice arcade style game, smashing the lil cubes is so satisfying so far my best score is 39
thanks to art school and the amazing [ARTGENIUS] art engine i'm now 400% better of an artist and all of the human soul has been sucked out of my art to be sold to the highest demon bidder :D 10/10 would sell my soul for artistic integrity again
Intuitive controls and a really nice take on the theme, really nice idea
I went back in time to before I was even poisoned mwhaha they'll never get me now. nice game, i enjoyed picking things up and face rubbing stuff until it worked but i am a sucker for point and click games so maybe thats why. i liked how you incorporated the theme as well
the look of the game is amazing, really like the art style and effects you put in
really enjoyed playing this and I think it matches the theme perfectly. easy to pick up the cmd controls as well gj
I really like the hex map and the mechanics I just wish there were some instructions on how to cook and etc even just a rough guide, I found a bear head to wear as a hat and then died to starvation but there's so much depth to this game, as well as the fact that it seems to be randomly generated, great entry
i really like the graphics and the audio gives it a proper retro vibe, good game
some amazing ai art, felt like i was using old magic cards while playing, the day and night cycle for when you can lay down cards is a great idea and fun to play with
fun, i would happily die to space pirates and non stop fires again. the way you used the 10 sec theme is really good as well
really interesting game play mechanic, enjoyed my treasure hunting experience and liked the take on the theme
I still have no idea who out of the character's was murdered when i'm looking at the posts BUT I still had a good time doomscrolling through this murder mystery.
the feeling of zapping bugs with the effects you put in is so satisfying when I was doing good and made messing up much more impactful, really good job with this game.
Really good game, took me a couple plays to figure out how to get the lil bots collecting my resources but once I got the hang out it it plays really nice and the fact you can slow time down helped me so much while setting up. I may of accidentally cheesed it by right click selling my base with the hp attached to it though.
really nice idea and execution, love the game over screen graphics and it has a great mechanic
Really liked the take on the theme and the fact that there were bits of lighting around so that I could still navigate myself around in the darkness. Good landmark placements as well so I never felt truly lost cus I'd stumble across a part I recognised and could go from there.
found a glowly green orb and then turned around and jumped out my skin as I died to the idol haha gj
really like the idea of the 10 sec puzzles as turns in the fight but I suck at them, the only one I can do is the attack. Nice take on the theme gj
This is probably the most unique entry I've seen, seriously interesting mechanics, a bit tricky to understand a first, but personally I think that's because there's quite a lot to wrap your head around. overall though really nice job.
really complete game experience, great graphics and mechanic for progressing, the shooting feels great and the intro is so fleshed out. this is an A+ entry really gj
This is such a fun experience, there's just a few balancing things were the balls landed on the floor and I wasn't sure what to press to launch it back over and the big jump was a bit high and I couldn't tell how high I was gna go, but these are not complaints, just like I understand these are things that would get solved during play testing. But overall a super fun experience.
great game, took me a couple goes to read all the seeds and costs etc but really fun once you get used to it :) i got a capitalist score of 448 as my high score
really difficult, but obviously balancing anything properly in 3 days is absolutely impossible, but its still fun and the art style is really nice.
lovely nod to lemmings, pretty difficult but i definitely had fun and the little 'oh no' had me creasing :D gj
Great small game, very complete and enjoyable experience gj
What a game. this is so good. my experience was a little bit glitchy, but overall this was a lot of fun.
great precision game and the fact you did it in html and css blows my mind, really gj
really like the art style in this game and the upgrade system where you get something but so does the enemy was a stroke of genius
really good job, the gameplay is really addicting and it's giving into the breach vibes, so much content for 72 hours!
all hail big prawn
really nice art style and I found the levels challenging enough to keep me scrambling for pieces but it never felt unmanageable.
Steering the boat via sonar/radar and the steering wheel feel really satisfying, took me a lil while to get the hang of the wheel but the learning curve was nice. Super atmospheric minimal audio adds a really nice touch. The big map was a really nice touch for helping me guide myself via compass as well.
the track goes hard, the gameplay is good, its an absolutely solid game
the resolution is a bit wacky, but the graphics are adorable :D and the theme is definitely there, so good job
I really like how you incorporated the theme with the movement controls, the art for the ships is really nice as well gj
Super impressive for a three day game and honestly who isn't gna enjoy a game with portal guns?
would make a really nice desktop/study pet if it was a bit slower and maybe deeper bet less wide, you could grow some huge root systems and big plants.
I really like how you used the 10 seconds theme in this, really fun to play
really enjoyed playing detective, I only caught the killer cus I recognised him hanging around all the dead bodies, can't sneak past me
great use of the theme, having the criteria change kept everything feeling really fresh, nice graphics and satisfying gameplay loop
good shooter mechanics and I like that you have melee and shooting enemies to fight
This is great! I got 47 seconds which is pretty short for how happy I was with the time XD.

love the art in this game, trying to juke the falling nuclear bomb kept me entertained for longer than it should of i kept starving to death but i had a fun time doing it
Love the graphic style, no idea how to play but great experience
@faust-mi thanks, there was a lot of programmer art that I spent today replacing, so its a bit more a full experience now.
@mortiss we crying together
@stefan-ciobanu ummm, im going to download firefox and try and recreate it, maybe it could be the screen shake, but thats my only idea D: otherwise...have yoooou maybe got another browser.. :D
@makemakemake I felt like, I should do something in her name you know?
@hydezeke Thanks, the vibe was really important
@amarokczukay thankyou, I didn't really want so much of a game more of a playable scene, so animations where important
@finde thanks the art was definitely important here
@josephwalker thankyou, yeh the mechanics did get away from me a bit, I think I got a bit too emotionally invested tbh. The theme this year really didn't sit with me so you're right, it was a stretch :D
@flying-dog-fish the description is honestly not meant to be appealing and the general idea is that u figure it out as you go because its a very short experience, but I guess that's not for everyone.
@labtoast Thankyou <3 I really appreciate that, I actually meant to add a light bubble to the click prompt! but it completely slipped my mind and by the time everything was done I was a bit exhausted so called it a day, but I'm glad you enjoyed it though and that's for playing.
@hagamosvideojuegos not sure what you mean, I only used the 24 hours to fix bugs etc. that is allowed
@hagamosvideojuegos no problem lol, thanks for playing
@chingle thank you, making it was a lot harder than I thought it would be so I know what you mean
@thatzniko thankyou man, I really appreciate that and thanks for playing <3
@jonrei thankyou so much I'm glad you enjoyed it you and I'm sorry to hear about your cat :(
@vetche-studio thankyou for playing I'm glad you liked it
@figadei thankyou :) i'm glad you liked it
@cookie-chr hey I'm glad you liked the game, I'm sorry about the firefox issue I really don't know what's happening, if it makes it any better I would fix it if knew how?
@sheldonzs the theme I found a bit tough, I just wanted some atmospheric effects every ten seconds, but I honestly ran out of time adding any more than I have. Glad you liked the atmosphere tho.
@sailors Thankyou! :D the atmosphere was really what I wanted to focus on, so I'm glad it worked!
@nickpick haha I'm sure they loved it :D Yeh some of the mechanics started to get away from me as I started getting more emotional, I don't really know if it makes sense, but I was a bit scrambled and I couldn't focus. Not an excuse and I understand it totally messes with the overall experience. But I'm glad you liked the overall atmosphere :D
@diego-escalante ty for nice words about Mystie (my kitten)! I really didnt know how to explain the 'wait for cat' without a UI overlay and i reaaaaaly didnt want one, so im glad you got it after a while and im glad you liked it :D
@georgy16 thankyou glad you liked it!
@broodjethomaat I did have a plan to add the theme, but honestly it kinda got away from me,
nice shooter game and i like how you implemented the theme, some floor markings might of helped me with navigating but i dont think its a huge issue gj
This game is so well made! the graphics are great, the story line is great, the only issue I had the whole time is that I'm bad at games and kept dying and the no check points thing I thought was a bit brutal.
Really nice lil game, feels tight and is fun to mess around in playing dodgeball.
love the idle animation and all the art is really nice and makes the game feel super polished, I dont mind how long the f button is though maybe turning the game length down a couple minutes or having the option of a shorter maybe 3 min game would be nice.
Love the art style and the game is hectic in the best way. It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise the recipe was under every demon on the left side. The lil flames on the options sliders was a nice touch.
I died from touching the grass (I think?) but I really liked the bears sleeping at different times and having to sneak past them
10/10 would watch my opponent turn into a spud and get carried off by a pigeon again
I liked how you tracked the amount of time to craft via the red bars, and theres so many recipes to learn which is amazing. kinda finicky to move stuff around but nothing to crazy, prepping materials before the days rush feels really satisfying as well gj
the effects on the footage is a really nice touch, this is gonna be a really good game when fleshed out. I really enjoyed my short time in it
i enjoyed it the graphics were fun and cute and you hit the theme on the head
